Black Community Leaders Pushing for Brown Equality, but vice versa?

[GreenGhxst]

It's common to see our black community leaders advocating for (mostly Hispanic) brown equality and brown civil rights, but is there any brown people advocating for black civil rights and black equality?

I just got off work a couple hours ago and I smoked a bit and started pondering.... and I never see the reverse. I may just miss those videos or those tweets? Maybe I don't follow brown community leaders? I'm definitely not saying all brown people are racist, but I don't think I'm wrong for questioning if this relationship is one sided. im not looking for super hotep dap fishing answers. I'm looking for a degree of objectivity..

Is it really that common to see "black activists" speak for "brown people"?

To many in Africa, President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias and the Bolivarian revolution are a mirror to a dearly held past of dignity and struggle in our own continent and a reminder that, despite losses and entrenched systems of oppression, revolution is still possible.

Hugo Chavez was the first president of Latin America to declare himself of African descent. In an interview with Democracy Now in 2005, Chavez reaffirmed the importance of his and Venezuelan peoples' historic ties to the continent, stating:
And one of the greatest motherlands of all is no doubt, Africa. We love Africa. And every day we are much more aware of the roots we have in Africa... Racism is very characteristic of imperialism. Racism is very characteristic of capitalism.

Similarly, Venezuela's solidarity support to African Diaspora communities in Haiti and the US, ..., reminded us that principle can stand firm and act.

Like they're not told what to say. What else would you expect a white media controlled broadcasting company for their puppets to say? People on the street are not talking this "black-brown" alliance or suppression in common everyday conversations.

Twitter is not the talk of the people, that's not representative of dominant thoughts in black society; No one should be quoting or base their references from the twittersphere and using that as the basis for their thought pattern. Twitter is a platform for social media "activism"- not grassroots efforts or activities.

it's not reciprocated, we know it and we quietly accept it, we're not suppose to openly talk about it...even now i know there are dudes wanting to neg you just for mentioning it.
